Agreed. I'd rather they just forfeit the shootouts because I can't stand those heart-breaking shootout wins.

Plek doesn't even have an "A".

Yeah but if they make the playoffs, at the end of the year, it doesn't matter how they made it. You're there and that's it.

It is not. However, it is rare that one without jumps over one that has one.

and once you're there anything can happen, look at the Bruins last year, they were on a huge losing streak going into the play offs and ended up in the SCF

Shut up.

nothing beats the sight of a fat italian guy sitting front row at a wrestling show in a bright red track suit being told repeatedly by security to sit down and bowling over his own children and a bunch of others in his rush to take a photo of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton.

All i'm trying to say is that if a team is going to succeed in this league they need to be able to win hockey games by actually playing hockey.

Just say you hate the (frank)ing shootout. I do, but as long as they have it 2 points is 2 points.
